No specific event has been pinpointed as the cause of the injury. However, Kane’s fight with Tampa Bay’s Eric Brewer at the end of that contest, could be the culprit. Kane appears to check his hand after the fight is broken up by the linesmen, which happens about 28 seconds into the video below.

The former No. 4 overall pick, has scored 14 goals and assisted on 11 others in 38 games this season. Winnipeg has gone 1-1 without Kane thus far, losing at home against Columbus but recording a 5-1 victory over the Coyotes on Monday. There is no time table yet for Kane's return.

The Jets have called up 22-year-old left wing Carl Klingberg from the AHL in a corresponding move. A former second-round pick in the 2009 draft, Klingberg has scored 11 times in 33 games, while adding seven assists and picking up 20 penalty minutes.
